Meet Mutant Miss Jones

Apr 18

January Jones as Betty Draper is probably the least liked character on A&E’s Mad Men. Why? Probably because she doesn’t show much emotion and when she does, it tends to be cold. I love her character on Mad Men because she’s real, gorgeous, and gives Don a run for his money.

She’s going to soon be showing us a very different side of her; mutant. In X-Men: First Class, January will be playing Emma Frost, a mutant clad in all-white, who can read minds and transform into a diamond. I can’t wait to see what she brings to the series. In the meantime, check out these futuristic images of January from W Magazine May 2011.

Hope you all have a fantastic Monday. I’m in my last week before Spring Break! So excited. I’m working feverishly on getting my novel ready for the May 6th release date. I even created a new FB page for my novel information. I’d love to have you check it out! Here is the link.

I’m guest posting for Daphne over at Flip Flops and Pearls today and would love for you to check it out! Please stop by her fabulous blog and let me know what you think of my fun Easter baking ideas (yes, I did a post on sweets and baking! Shocking I know, no fashion involved at all)!

One last thing. You’ve probably heard about Bryan Stow and his awful beating at Dodger Stadium. I have been following his story and find the whole thing so sad. I thought you might want to check out the website that has been set up for him. He has two young children and many medical bills. Any donations or thoughts and prayers would be helpful. I don’t know him at all, just feel convicted to pass on the info for Bryan and his family.

I like the post. I think for one day or evening I’d like to replicate the look with my hair – just once. And I like the “vibe” that the shoot conveyed. I”m going to visit your guest post now. And it is aboslutely horrible about the Dodger fan who was beat, absolutely – I don’t know how or why someone could do that to another human being other than stupidity.

Behind the Inspiration

Many of you might not know I began this blog after being so inspired by Marilyn Monroe and her tragic life. She was often so misunderstood, I find her to be intriguing. I'm in love with old Hollywood and Marilyn embodies everything about it that I am inspired by. Who better to inspire me? Over the years, the blog has become less about Marilyn and more about me, my love of fashion, and appreciation for life, however I won't forget the inspiration that started it all, thus the name, "Blonde Episodes."

Blonde Bits by Marilyn

"Ever notice that 'what the hell' is always the right decision?"

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

"If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything."

"The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space."

"We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets."

"I don't mind living in a man's world, as long as I can be a woman in it."

"We are all of us stars, and we deserve to twinkle."

"I want to grow old without facelifts. I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face I have made."

"Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

"All a girl really wants is for one guy to prove to her that they are not all the same."

"A career is wonderful but you can't curl up with it on a cold night."

"If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
